St. Moritz–Corviglia funicular, Mountain funicular railway in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
The St. Moritz-Corviglia funicular connects the town to high mountain terrain through two separate track sections with different gauges. Passengers transfer between vehicles partway up as the system changes from one technical specification to another.
The lower section was built in the early 1900s to reach higher ground from town. A second section was added years later to push the connection even higher into skiing terrain.
The funicular system represents Swiss engineering excellence, integrating two different gauge sections that meet at an intermediate transfer station.
The total journey takes around 10 minutes with a mandatory vehicle change in the middle. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a jacket, as temperatures drop significantly at higher elevations.
The railway system includes two separate tracks with different technical specifications, requiring passengers to change cars at Chantarella station.
